Motown Comes to Downtown Indianapolis
Legendary Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder came out on the campaign trail for Barack Obama last night at the American Legion Mall in downtown Indianapolis. At 9pm as a light drizzle began to fall, Wonder walked onstage and led the more than 20,000 supporters in singing Barack Obama’s name up and down the octave. “Someone give me a C,” Wonder said as he took the stage.
“I’m here because Barack Obama inspires me to write songs, encourages me that there can be an even greater America tomorrow, and encourages me that we can come together and be a far greater country that’s far more beautiful to the rest of the world than ever before,” Wonder said. “It’s for you tomorrow to make the difference in this state, to make the difference for the rest of this country and the world,” he said before sitting down to play a set.
The singer-songwriter sang three songs, including “Sign, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours,” a familiar tune on the Obama campaign trail and “I Wish.” Wonder Swapped in words to the hits using Obama’s name and slogans like “Yes we can.” To the tune of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours,” Wonder sang, “This election sets my soul on fire - because Barack could be the president and it ain’t no lie.” It sounded better than it reads..

This what Obama does - serenade the electorate hoping that by entertaining Americans they will elect him to the highest office in the land?
OUR RESPONSE IS “YOU CAN’T BUY OUR VOTES!!!” NOR YOU CAN FOOL US!!!
NO COMMENT ON POOR STEVIE WONDER
ALL I CAN SAY IS
LET IT BE
LET IT BE
LET IT BE
LET IT BE
SPEAKING WORDS OF WISDOM, LET IT BE HILLARY R. CLINTON
Obama want CHANGE?
But do agree with bush on Gas Tax Holiday?
And don’t want to CHANGE his VIEW on his Pastor for 20YEARS?
But after seeing the outrage of THE REAL AMERICANS - now denouncing his pastor Incendiary Remarks BUT NOT DISOWNING HIS PASTOR?
What kind of CHANGE is he talking about?
For sure he is not going to CHANGE things that will BENEFIT Americans for opposing and attacking the proposed Gas Tax Holiday by Senator Hillary Clinton even for temporary but will give immidiate relief for all motorists….
AND INSTEAD OF SIDING WITH THE PEOPLE - “OBAMA SIDED WITH BUSH???”
WHAT IS THE CHANGE IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
O! This is the one example of CHANGE he wanted to do:
OBAMA WANT TO CHANGE OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS STANDARDS???
“Obama, in an effort to reassure Jewish voters about his candidacy, last month criticized former President Carter(WHO IS SUPPORTING HIS CANDIDACY) for meeting with leaders of the Islamic terrorist group Hamas, saying, “We must not negotiate with a terrorist group intent on Israel’s destruction.”
Yet Obama also said he’s willing to make diplomatic overtures to Iran even though it has funded Hamas and other militant groups.(DOUBLE TALK???)
DNC LEADERS SHOULD REALIZE THAT IF OBAMA IS THEIR NOMINEE IN THIS ELECTION?
THEY WILL JUST HAND OVER THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN TO GOP - AND THAT’S A FACT!
VOTE SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!
NC AND INDIANA ARE FOR SENATOR CLINTON! - WATCH IT!
I hope he kept them up late, maybe they will sleep through today.
Fox News You Suck.
How utterly ridiculous - now Stevie Wonder thinks he can influence white voters cause Obama already had all the black vote (racists and sexists). Oprah thought she could close out the deal but we showed her; all she did was plummet her ratings - she lost alot of female support. No the blind will lead the blind.
I find it funny first Obama offers concert ticket in PA, one on one basketball, Now a concert,lmao man Obama like you said yourself your are desperate seems you false face is starting to show the old time politician,lol even had a small town picnic with the bitter folks,gee thnxs big man there too bad your kids seemed scared of us white, bitter, middle class people must of been listening to the pastor toooooo long.
obama has no substance. He is only offering novelty and personality.
Don’t mean to be offensive, but when I think about the Catholic Church and the pacts that it made with Nazis, I don’t know how anyone can remain Catholic. Yet this country elected a Catholic president (JFK) and millions never felt the need to renounce the Catholic Church. My point is, why can’t Obama continue to belong to his church even if he doesn’t agree w/his pastor? Catholics do it all the time. They stay Catholic even though they don’t agree w/the Pope or its teachings.
If Obama couldn’t “change” someone who he has known for over 20 years uncle pastor Wright Hatred,
He couldn’t “change” Chicago for the better just watch the news and see,
If he couldn’t “change” who is his close friends and get better America loving people around him.
If he couldn’t take care of his own home town “changes” how will he address America’s?
I HAVE TO GIVE YOU CREDIT FOX NEWS. IN THE LAST WEEK OR SO, THERE HAS BEEN A DECIDED CHANGE IN YOUR TONE REGARDING YOUR DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY HEADLINES. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE ANYWAY. YOU SEEM TO BE MORE FAIR, AND MORE BALANCED. GONE IS THE OVERWHELMING NEGATIVISM TOWARDS OBAMA. UNFORTUNATELY, IT SEEMS YOUR COMPETITION OVER AT CNN HAS TAKEN UP THE CRUSADE OF ANTI OBAMA HEADLINES. PLAY FAIR AND STAY BALANCED.
Umm…so what.
Since when is Stevie Wonder the paragon of authority on global strategy, economic policy, and constitutional law?
lol why can’t Obama stay with his church and pastor. I didn’t know he left. When did he? He wants to surround himself with hatred it is his right but doesn’t mean we need to keep hearing his lying speeches I turn the channel when he comes on.
Wright stated on April 30th 2007, in the new york times how he and Obama talked about separating for the election so Obama NOT knowing what his pastor was saying is full of crap. Look it up type in the newspaper and wrights name and you will see.
You do notice it was a year earlier? yeah and you notice pastor Wright hasn’t bitten Obama back after he threw him under bus? How many of you honestly think it wasn’t planned? lmao
The musicians each camp has used in Indiana are telling: Clinton-Mellencamp, Obama-Wonder.
Mellencamp appeals to small town whites while Wonder appeals to blacks and big city folk. I think they have both finally figured out who to pander to.
Personally, I’d go with Mellencamp.
newsflash…. the messaih performs miracles on stage; gives Stevie Wonder his sight… all fall to their knees as king obama our savior is acknowledged….
next, he removes globs of fat from Oprah… skinny for life he proclaims as he holds the fat in his hand and celebrates this miracle with the new forever thin Oprah…
yessum…. he done god’s work and promised all milk,honey and the road to the promised land… Africa!
let the drums begin to echo loudly and vibrate this land…
Obama: I am the great black hope. Sorry my bad, I’m doing the great white hope this week.
American bitter middle class: We don’t need hope we need solutions!
Obama: but I have pretty speeches!
Middle class: we don’t need speeches we need actions!
These people would fall for anything. They’re so gullible.
Next stop: Le Bron James signing basketballs.
Obama: and now we will make a new national anthem it will be Lets Teach the World to Sing.because I can’t sing Star Spangle Banner too violent!
Obama: We must take away the American flag, I don’t want other countries to be confused where my loyalties stand!
I’ll show up for fried chicken, but I’m still voting for McCain.
Obama: look I made a picnic and had my wife and kids come.
Middle class: Why are your girls afraid to talk to us?
Obama: Wright taught them well. They think we are the superior race and whites are nothing but white power who are trying to suppress them.
Obama:k Shawanta but if I get down on my knees and beg would you reconsider? Don’t make me send my black blog watchdogs after you!
Obama: We will hold all who doesn’t vote for me accountable!
stevie wonder suppporting obama? that’s no surprise. obama has 90% of the black vote. he has become the new spokesman for african-american issues. at least he’ll do a hell of a lot better job than shrpton, jackson, wright and farakhan. i was pleased that he denounced wright unequivocally last week-america both black and white needed that.
i don’t support obama, but after his denounciation last week , i hold him in higher regard. i imagine he will be a predominant force in america after the elections are far from over. and hopefully he can evolve into a more centrist political persuasion as he grows and matures.
Obama: I don’t do special interest. Wink Wink Canada. Teamsters if you vote for me we will do away with investigation into your corruption and you will have a friend in the white house. I will get 1 million a year earmark for Michelle’s hspital so she will get a incredible raise. I will get a 1 million earmark for ILL aquarium that makes billions a year. I have oil companies COE on staff as bundler but I’m not into special interests.
I don’t do lobbyist. If they are not federal they don’t count!
Obama: think I have CEOs of oil companies in my campaign and you wonder why I’m not for them paying more? lol oh you fools.
I think if you read what Obama being pathetic wrote. Obama has said or done almost all they wrote. Sad He is such a low life, playing politician.
client #8,
Wright stated on April 30th 2007, in the new york times how he and Obama talked about separating for the election so Obama NOT knowing what his pastor was saying is full of crap. Look it up type in the newspaper and wrights name and you will see.
notice it was a year earlier? yeah and you notice pastor Wright hasn’t bitten Obama back after he threw him under bus? How many of you honestly think it wasn’t planned? lmao
Obama: gotta go. Michelle is whining about paying too much for piano and dance lessons. You middle class will need to decide if you want a dozen eggs or a gallon of gas.
lol @ Obama being…,
So true!
Wow…many mean haters here. Instead of being so hateful why don’t you people actually do something good for your community and this country. Whether you’re for any of the candidates. Is this what America stands for? Putting fellow American’s down? I don’t think so. Think about how you kick people down….now that is “un-American.”
WHY ARE YOU HATING ON OBAMA. DON’T GET MAD GET GLAD. THERE IS NO PERFECT PERSON IN THIS WORLD, WE ALL HAVE MADE MISTATKES AND BAD CHOICES. I THINK HE WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL PRESIDENT. STOP HATING ON THE BROTHER AND GET WITH THE PROGRAM. HE HAS DREW YOUNG AND OLD VOTERS. PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE NEVER VOTED HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR HIS INSPIRATION TO THEM.
HE HAS MY VOTE. AGAIN I SAY STOP HATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tami & SHERRY,
the truth hurts. but it will be ok your Obama will get the nomination lose the election and shame this country Be proud to be Obama zombie as you will make history as the first Americans to support an anti-American,white hating LOSER! lol who is indicted for terror connections
If you look at PA Hillary also got the young, old and middle so please. He got 96% black vote wow who is hating now?
the only votes he gets are black and college kids you no the ones that have little to no thoughts of politics they vote for him for the color of his skin and they think he is a rap star
Tami,
kick people down? oh funny. Obama who threw his Grandmother under the bus and then his pastor who just weeks before Never could turn his back on? Think you have me confused with Obama.
You notice he is a snake in mans clothes? yep skinny,slinky and even says his S’s like a snake.
Obama is not a god nor is he anything Like JFK or RFK Or MLK He is just a very smooth politician. Na unfortuanately all yiu people who are voting for him will be very sorry > You all look at him as if he can preform miracles just by speaking He is not fit to even wipe the feet of such great men as MLK JFK OR RFK> You all make me sick the way you fawn over him he is just a man like any other man Get real and look at the whole picture not just today but also the future and he is not your answer.He will cause more turmoil then even the Bush administration he will pull our country apart with his over liberal views He is a liar and a cheat read between the lines people
We can hate all we want or not. Speak for yourself. Darned if I’ll vote for an empty suit just because he is black. With that in mind maybe we should vote for Farrankhan, Sharpton or Wright Just because they are black. Jeez! Thats real intelligent thinking!
Don’t bother showing your hatefulness by calling me a rasist or bigot. I don’t give a whit.
Most people don’t want to lose their jobs because their employer has been hit by higher taxes to make it “fair”. Did you ever ask a poor man for a job?
the true racist is obama and his clan if i dont win i will get the blacks to riot and that is why the supperdelegates are going to him and that is wrong tthey dont want the riots i say bring it on let them riot they show there intel.maybe they should go back to africa then they will see true slavery
Tami & SHERRY,
please tell me how he will change things with his “changes”? what is it he will do? How about the part of “changes” he say we will not like,what did he mean? Since you know your Obama so well elaborate.
Obama being pathedic:
Curious, how do you support?
If JFK came back today he would be labeled a right winger. MLK was a repub.
Welfare destroyed families. They replaced a check with a father in the home. Which led to all kinds of new problems.
Liberal principals hurt “People”.
Go Obama. You will lose in a landslide come Nov.
McCain 08
GET WITH THE PROGRAM? you mean Movement? Obama was stated that individual dreams, thoughts, and actions were insufficient. What do you think your “different” man meant?
wait till afirmative action happens to the college kids while the drug dealer gets the jobe they went to school for then you will see what happens and im not being racist about it it is the truthwait and see it will happen
kathy WI ;
Hello again. Can you be certain of a McCain win against either dem candidate in light of the record number of new democratic voters registered this year.?
TimeForChange,
I support none of them sorry but Obama is bad for this country. I give 100% to my country but Obama has earned 0% from me. He lies,cheats, uses his fake race,uses terrorist money,fear to get what he wants. Nope not interested in his socialistic dreams of America.
I know a lot of Dems will go to McCain I have heard numerous who just don’t trust Obama and his friends like Hatem el hady. Sorry but McCain will prob win by a 20% margin over Obama come fall.
I’m an swing voter,lol seems like we are worth a lot this year.
TimeForChange ,
The record number also includes the swing voters who jumped and a lot will go back to the Republicans.
Obama being pathedic :
I would check the stats on that one. The large majority of new voters are for Obama - but the swing vote does have an effect
Hey all you Obama supporters who want to riot in Denver go to Recreate68.0rg and sign up with moveon, code pink, Ward Churchill, Glen Spagnoulo etal. Sharpton has made his threats.
For all you who are ready to watch you better buy your popcorn now before the try to turn it into gas.
Or go to dncdisruption08.org or Tentstate.org.
They have got their permits and the guard and cops are training now.
Operation Chaos……The repubs voting dem now will cross back over for Nov.
TimeForChange,
Not true Obama and Hillary have produce a lot together but it seems they don’t like/trust the other candidate. more so Obama due to his shady associations I know we have a group and discuss these topics once a month where I live.
If it was only Obama he would of won PA hands down. Think about it how many new register voters there was. he got there was 92% of the black vote that is what kept him alive because the black communities have more delegates than any other don’t know why but it is what it is. Obama has divided this country on race, he used it from get go.
kathy WI :
Your statement is somewhat misleading. What has been said is that IF Obama was ahead in all the numbers in the end and the superdelegates turned the tables and pushed Hillary through, then they could see where people would be angry and possibly a fight could occur. I have learned something this election I guess I was never really aware of that does not sit well with me - the fact that the pledge delegates could “change” there support at the convention - this simply says to me that the voters voice doesnt matter - not good
Obama being pathedic:
Again - check the stats. It is the republicans crossing over to mess with the democratic race that is keeping Hillary alive.
Yep he did. Also his non policies didn’t help him much. His Hope won’t pay my bills but extending the Bush tax cut would.
I can’t wait to see Mathews turn pale tonight. I thought he’d have a stroke the last primary.
kathy WI:
The chances of a republican winning in November are very slim. I think the country as a whole are more or less sick of them - thanks to GW Bush
kathy WI:
Another problem for McCain is even if he could somehow pull off a win, across the country republican seats are slowly but surely going democratic. He would be a lame duck on day one.
TimeForChange,
Read what I wrote both have produced large numbers but people who jumped feel Obama shady friends are too questionable for voting for him so they will jump back. so yes some will stay but a lot will go back. if it was Hillary they would be more willing to stay it is proven in the polls look them up.
If you want honesty check out why Obama won a lot of the caucuses I found he won due to racial tension his supporters brought. people left because they felt harassed if they supported Clinton. There was a lot of issues with properness in them.
I personally don’t care I’m still deciding. I wont be threatened or blackmailed to pick one or the other of any politician.
Another thing he will lose FL and MI due to him blocking the revote after he said the voting was unfair they offered a revote and he refused so he will lose a lot of the voters there.
Democratic Presidential Nomination
RCP Average: Obama +0.2%
Obama45.1% Clinton44.9%
He’s sinking fast - hee heee hee I love it!
Change that is right. They can change their vote now or at the convention. After they take a good look at the mood of the country and try to guess which one would be best in Nov. They made the Super rule after the McGovern fiasco. Wanted to make sure their electorate dummies didn’t pick the “wrong” candidate again. McGovern won 1 state. lol
But if you get a chance, read the sites I mentioned above. They are holding their meetings and getting ready.
Hillary knows all this. Thats why she is staying in as no one can get the delegates needed any other way. She figures if its close and has more popular votes she has a case.
They sure have a goofy nominating system with closed primaries, open primaries, caucases, proportioned delegates. Enough to boggle the mind. hard enough the figure out the electoral votes in the general.
I got to go take a nap. Want to hear all the spin tonight.
lol whatever have looked into it know how politics work.
TimeForChange, posted on this very website!
Democratic Presidential Nomination
RCP Average: Obama +0.2%

Obama got your tongue. He is not going to change anything who r u kidding!
I’m a Democrat I would vote for McCain why his experience and he is pretty Liberal.
the media and DNC have been trying to force Obama down voters throats,it didn’t work and isn’t working so if you look at that Obama supporters threatening violence means squat a lot of people are getting sick of Obamas camp using the race card.
My I point out the head of the DNC is involved with socialism also. you know Dean so go figure.
timeforchange,
I gotta go. nice conversing with you. Will be on tonight see how the dems play out. have a good one.
Thankyou FoxNews for this clip on Barack Obama sung by the legendary Stevie Wonder in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. I’ve had it playing on my computer at work it’s awesome & oh so inspiring. I wish I could vote for him but I’m an Obama backer from Calgary,Alberta,Canada. Go Obama Go!! & thanks to Stevie Wonder for putting it to music.
Obama ‘08
Three years ago, during an appearance on CBS, Sen. Hillary Clinton stated that she agreed with the overarching premise of John McCain’s Iraq policy: that America’s commitment to the war shouldn’t be based on time frames but rather on the level of troop casualties. She even cited, as McCain now regularly does, that the United States would be well suited to follow a model for troop presence based on South Korea, Japan, or Germany.
“Senator McCain made the point earlier today, which I agree with, and that is, it’s not so much a question of time when it comes to American military presence for the average American; I include myself in this. But it is a question of casualties,” said Clinton. “We don’t want to see our young men and women dying and suffering these grievous injuries that so many of them have. We’ve been in South Korea for 50-plus years. We’ve been in Europe for 50-plus. We’re still in Okinawa with respect to protection there coming out of World War II.”
The quote, which resurfaced on liberal websites late Sunday night, underscores both the evolution of Clinton’s stance on Iraq and the war itself.
Signed, Sealed. Delivered……….
I do the same when i see Hillary on the air I turn the tv off. After all her parents named her after Sir Hilary climb the mountain.
(which by the way was 5yrs after she was born) How much more is she going to lie. Its like Al Gore inventing the internet. Hillary is evil would rather switch party and vote for MC Cain.
Are you all so stupid to think that its a race card game. Obama is half white.
You people who play the race card game are the one that are racist.
What diff that it make what color he is. He bleeds the same color that you do.
We will never be able to stop this madness on racial issue if you people dont stop. Dont judge people by their color it is not fair. And take a good look at yourself and see how many skeletan you have in your closet. So let us try to get along.
Thank You
WOW…You Americans are very bitter. I think Obama will do your country wonders. I wish we could have someone like him in power here in CANADA.
“How about the part of “changes” he say we will not like,what did he mean?”
He means he is going to pander to some very small groups of people who are out of touch with mainstream America. I also believe he will do some stuff wth reparations for slavery. Don’t be surprised if he sends the tax rate through the roof and regulates every profitable company into oblivion. In a nutshell he wants to turn the nation and everything about it on its head, because we are on the wrong track and have been since the nation was founded.
Basically, Obama knows what is best for America and we won’t ever understand why. He will solve all of our problems for us because we aren’t able. We need to just bend over, close our eyes and hope it ends soon. Until then drink the hope and change kool-aid he is spewing.
“Are you all so stupid to think that its a race card game…”
Are you scolding the Black people who vote for him because he is Black or the White people who don’t vote for him despite his being Black?
Black people want a Black president because they think they will finally get everything they have always wanted so I understand why they would vote for Barack. Why self-sufficient Blacks or anyone else would vote for Barack is beyond me. He is racist socialist who doesn’t love this country, he loves the fact that he has a shot at occupying the most powerful position in the world. He’s not presidential material, he is another con artist who happened to end up in politics instead of dealing craps in some back alley.

Racist comment #1:
From “Dreams of My Father.” page 229,
“THERE WERE NO CIGAR CHOMPING CRACKERS LIKE BULL CONNOR OUT THERE.” The
use of “cracker” was unnecessary and salacious.
Racist comment #2:
From Dreams Of My Father;
I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY
AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. =Gee, who wouldn’t after sitting for 20 years
listening to hate in that alleged church.
Racist comment #3:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“The emotion between the races could never be pure….. THE OTHER RACE (WHITE)
WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART”
Racist comment #4:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own.
IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE , THE BLACK MAN, THE SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D
PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF.
Racist comment #5:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, blaming white people,- some
cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless
image of a system claiming power over our lives.”
Racist comment #6:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it
came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying
close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to
prove which side you were on, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES,
TO STRIKE OUT, and name names”
Racist comment #7:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I
began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”
Racist comment #8:
From Dreams Of My Father;
After graduating from college, Obama eventually went to Chicago to interview
for a job as a community organizer. His racial attitudes came into play as he
sized up the man who would become his boss. “There was something about him
that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
Racist comment #9:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more
politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist
professors and structural feminists.”
Racist comment #10:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“To admit our doubt and confusion to whites, to open up our psyches to general
examination by those who had caused so much of the damage in the first place,
seemed ludicrous, itself an expression of self-hatred,” he wrote.
Racist comment #11:
From Dreams Of My Father;
Obama’s racial suspicions were not always limited to whites. For example, after
making his first visit to Kenya, he wrote of being disappointed to learn that his
paternal grandfather had been a servant to rich whites. He wrote in “Dreams” that
the revelation caused “ugly words to flash across my mind. Uncle Tom. Collaborator.
House n_gger.”
Racist comment #12:
From Dreams Of My Father;
yet after college, he once fell in love with a white woman, only to push her away when
he concluded he would have to assimilate into her world, not the other way around.
Racist comment #13:
From Dreams Of My Father;
“I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds,” he wrote in
“Dreams.” “One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were
courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were
relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t
seem angry all the time.”
Racist comment #14:
From Dreams Of My Father;
Said his grandmother is a “typical white person” who has fears about black men.
Traitorous comment#1: From ‘The Audacity Of Hope,
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an
ugly direction.”
Traitorous comment#2
“As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides,”
Obama said. “There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a
symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know,
the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial
and less bellicose. I like the song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing.’ If that were
our anthem, then I might salute it.”
“I can no more disown him (Wright) than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped
raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as
she loves anything in this world”.
“Now, Mr. Ayres is a 60 plus year old individual who lives in my neighborhood, who did
something that I deplore 40 years ago when I was six or seven years old. By the time I
met him, he was a professor of education at the University of Illinois”. “We served on a
board together that had Republicans, bankers, lawyers, focused on education, who worked
for Mayor Daley”.

Michelle Obama-

_____________________________________________________
Michelle Obama’s thesis … is unavailable until Nov. 5, 2008, at the Princeton library.
(not until after nomination, wonder why?)
Racist comment #1:
Though she came from a black working-class neighborhood in Chicago, she writes that
“my experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before.”
Racist comment #2:
“There was no doubt in my mind that as a member of the black community, I am obligated to this community
and will utilize all of my present and future resources to benefit the black community first and foremost.”
Racist comment #3:
“Predominately white universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater
to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of their enrollments.”
Racist comment #4:
She further suggests that even if she assimilates into white society after Princeton,
she will “remain on the periphery of society: never becoming a full participant.”
Racist comment #5:
“Blacks must join in solidarity to combat a White opressor.”
Traitorous comment#1:
“For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country because it feels

please tell me 1 thing that you know about mlk?
did i miss my history class???
wasn’t it white people who put black people in slavery?
all this racism that is spewing out is just proving what rev wright said was true.
not one of you can prove 1 thing that rev wright said that wasn’t true.
obama is trying to make america become closer to what it claims it is. that is a job for all of us americans yet you reject that and can only see through the eyes of hatred. what did black people ever do to you that you hate them so much? if you hate them then i know you hate jesus. jesus says what you do to the least of them you do to me!!

==================================
I think you missed your history class.
Many slaves were sold to whites by black Africans.
I don’t hate anyone. I just disagree with BO’s politics.
Does that make me a racist?
You really need to let that slave thing go….you have never met someone who was a slave nor have I met one who owned a slave.
The Chinese were treated like poo-poo in this country too. Why do they excel in science and medicine?
Native Americans are probably the only ones in the US with a legitimate gripe anymore, and that one is losing steam too.
GOATBOY
WHY WOULD YOU NEED TO REACH FOR AFRICANS SELLING OTHER AFRICANS? AFRICANS SOLD OTHER AFRICANS AFTER TRIBAL WARS FOR SERVITUDE NOT THE BRUTAL SLAVERY THAT WAS HEAPED UPON THE AFRICAN HEERE IN AMAERICA. AND YES THE CHINESE WERE ALSO MISTREATED BUT NOT BRUTALIZED AND CONSIDERED NOT HUMAN. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT BLACK PEOPLE SHOULDN’T TALK ABOUT WHAT WAS DONE TO THEM IN THIS COUNTRY,ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY WERE NEVER EVEN GIVEN AN APOLOGY? IT SEEMS THAT WHITE PEOPL IN THIS COUNTRY HAS ABUSED EVERY RACE OTHER THAN WHITE PEOPLE AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME FORGET IT.
